Bayern’s Muller Bids Champions Farewell

Club legend Müller makes his 503rd and final Bundesliga appearance as Bayern Munich celebrate title triumph in style.

Thomas Muller played his last match in the colours of Bayern Munich as the newly crowned Bundesliga champions finished the season with a 4-0 away win over Hoffenheim

The 35-year-old – who has won 13 Bundesliga titles and two Champions Leagues in Bavaria – will leave the club he has spent his entire senior career with when his contract expires this summer.

Muller made his 503rd Bundesliga appearance to go 12th in the league’s all-time appearance list, though he couldn’t add to his 248 club goals before being replaced by Harry Kane after an hour.

Michael Olise opened the scoring in the 33rd minute with a curling free-kick over the the wall that sneaked inside the post.

Shortly afterwards Joshua Kimmich doubled Bayern’s advantage when his close-range strike deflected past Oliver Baumann, before Serge Gnabry added a third with a low shot from the edge of the penalty area and Kane scored his 26th league goal of the season.

Kane’s former Tottenham team-mate Eric Dier made his final appearance for Bayern before a free transfer to Monaco this summer.

Leroy Sane came on as a late substitute amid speculation he could also leave the club this summer.

Champions Bayern finish the campaign 13 points clear of closest challengers Bayer Leverkusen, while Hoffenheim avoided dropping into the relegation play-off spot thanks to Heidenheim’s defeat by Werder Bremen.
